Paradisus by Meliá Gran Canaria – All Inclusive

We booked for a week in a premium Double room. We were very impressed when we arrived. The reception staff are lovely and very helpful. Our room was wonderful, modern, very clean. The decor of the hotel was minimalistic, contemporary and always spotless including the outside areas. The main food hall has a great selection of foods for breakfast, lunch and dinner and we ate there a lot of the time as our 6 year old is quite fussy. The only downside is the drinks service, it can be very slow or when the drinks eventually arrive it’s the wrong order. It got to be a bit of a joke in the end (not in a funny way) they need more staff in this area. The ginger bar was lovely with great cocktails and little snacks for kids that they could help themselves too. Service can be a little hit and miss here too but overall ok. The kids club and splash park was most enjoyable for our child with lots of activities throughout the day and evening. The snack shack was great, food was quick, hot and delicious, the service here was top notch especially from a lovely staff member called Sara. You are able together fresh beach towels every day from round the pool area, the pools are a little chilly but once you get in it’s fine. When we arrive the reception team told us to download the Meliá app so that we could book ourselves into some of the other restaurants unfortunately, when we tried to do this they only had really late availability left or no availability. As we have a small child eating at 9.30pm wasn’t an option for us. We did try out the Kanna restaurant which wasn’t that great slow service once again, over cooked and wrong drinks order arrived. The restaurant was half full, so I can’t say it was because they were rush off their feet. One morning I tried to order room service through the app and it never materialised, waited 2 hours. Had to go to reception to cancel the charge to my card. Overall this is a wonderful resort, just a few teething issues to resolve

We stayed at Paradiscus Meliá Grand Canaria for 5 days in January 2024. The hotel is beautifully designed and set in mature landscaped gardens right next to the beach. From the moment we checked in everyone was helpful and friendly and we were so impressed with our room (339) It was spotlessly clean with a gorgeous balcony overlooking the mountains. The beds were so comfortable and the housekeeping staff were on hand several times a day to clean/tidy and make sure everything was perfect. The food and drinks were delicious - in particular the Gastro Hall and Kanna - thank you to Christina for fitting us in for a last minute lunch! The shack by the pool was perfect for light snacks and drinks through the day. I had a wonderful outdoor yoga class with Isabel and Andre helped us to book into a star gazing evening - the hotel has its own small observatory which was the icing on the cake! We also had an outdoor movie night complete with popcorn and warm blankets. We will definitely be back soon - such a wonderful holiday. Thank you!

This was our second stay at the Paradisus and it felt like we were coming home! As soon as you walk into reception there is a sense of calm. The staff are so welcoming and it was lovely to see the same happy faces. They are genuinely interested in making every guest happy and nothing is too much trouble. The Reserve gives you a separate priority check-in, adult only pool, choice of à la carte breakfast and a spacious lounge where you can help yourself to drinks and snacks all day. The hotel and grounds are immaculate and our premium room was spacious with a super-comfortable bed, marshmallow pillows, walk-in rain shower, bath and lovely toiletries! Every meal was delicious with lots of choice throughout our stay. Peseta is still a highlight and definitely worth booking. Thank you to Jorge, Daniel, Victoria, Cynthia, Javier, Sara and all the other staff for making our second stay so special. Hopefully we will be back soon!

Our second visit to Paradisus did not disappoint! The hotel is still immaculate and the service is still amazing. The staff can't do enough to make your stay special and memorable. Javier in Ginger, Victoria, Daniel, Rita, Cynthia from the destination team, Sara at The Shack, Jorge the Resident Manager and many many more superb staff whose names we didn't manage to remember. They are always so happy and willing to please, nothing is too much trouble. We had a Reserve Suite on the 7th floor with amazing resort and sea views. The room was spacious with a large balcony, sofa, table and chairs, extremely large comfortable bed and a large bathroom with a soaking tub and shower. Housekeeping did a fantastic job of keeping the room clean and everything fully stocked on a daily basis. There are several restaurants and food concepts available both during the day and throughout the evening. The food we had was always served quickly and the quality was very good. Peseta is a Michelin starred food experience not to be missed. We recommend booking the restaurants in the evening to avoid disappointment. Overall, another amazing experience that we can't fault and we will most definitely be returning.

We booked a junior suite with access to the reserve area. The room (the entire hotel) was decorated perfectly stylish, artistic, clean and spacious. We even purchased some of the pottery as it was so beautiful, rustic and unique. Food was exceptional throughout, the michelin associated restaurant was stunning but very rich so one visit was enough. Lemon fish was cool for a drink and some live entertainment - Italian was lovely - kanna was great for lunch or dinner - gin.ger is perfect for those that want a cocktail and food and the main restaurant was also amazing (lots of choice). Best food in an all inclusive I've ever experienced. The staff were excellent and I would like to thank them all again. Hotel was spotlessly clean. Activities- mindfulness, yoga, meditation, fitness, art, wine tasting, aloe vera workshop.. all brilliant. Isabel NEEDS to be singled out as being the best, I genuinely feel people will return to this stunning hotel because of her. She is an extremely popular and professional instructor with the most amazing energy- truly amazing and I urge all to try her classes. Don't hesitate... book

Previously known as the Melia Tamarindos, this now beautiful and high quality Paradisus hotel has undergone a fabulous transformation. We always loved the location of this hotel (20 mins from airport) and easy access to the sea/beach - through a secure gate, but following the hotel’s renovation, we were so impressed and in awe of its updated features and stylish and relaxing decor throughout, including stunning infinity swimming pools and a tranquil spa. We chose ‘The Reserve’ option which gave us access to an adults only pool and a choice of premium spirits and snacks which for us, really enhanced our stay. There is a choice of different restaurants with good quality food, we especially liked the Mas Calzone and the Kanna Beach Club. The staff were all very attentive and keen to ensure that our stay was both comfortable and enjoyable, which reflects the hotel’s excellent senior management. We’re already looking forward to our next stay! We would thoroughly recommend this hotel to anyone seeking a relaxing and rejuvenating holiday experience.

We have had a lovely stay at Paradisus. Great location, very good food and the whole staff is super kind. Rooms are very clean and the seaview is fabulous. There are a lot of activities to do and the entertainment team is amazing (especially Ari, Tommy and Dario, thank you guys!!)

Fabulous suite in the Reserve ( adults only section) Truly 5* The Reserve also has a large lounge with a well stocked self service premium bar and food station which was excellent The Bali beds by the private pool area were particularly luxurious All the restaurants were above expectations in quality and this includes the buffet style Gastro Hall which served the best buffet food we have ever experienced in an all inclusive resort But the true quality comes from the staff who were exceptional: everyone was attentive, helpful and genuine in their wish to make our stay special. In particular Niccolo ( restaurant) and Jonny ( poolside) typified the “nothing is too much trouble” friendly, forever smiling attitude

This was our first stay at the hotel and we’ve thoroughly enjoyed it. We will be back again! The rooms are modern and immaculately clean. We didn’t have an ocean facing room but it didn’t bother us as we don’t typically spend a lot of time sitting on the balcony. The breakfast buffet and evening buffet are really impressive. There are a huge range of options to choose from including fresh to order meat and fish. Our favourite restaurant was Kanna we ate here most lunch times and would 100% recommend it. We also enjoyed the food at Pesata, the pool bar and Ginger. The only disappointment was the food at the Italian restaurant, we visited twice and both times wished we hadn’t. The hotel has a relatively small gym, but it has everything you need to get a workout in including cardio equipment and dumbbells. It gets a little busy first things as you might expect. We’d also recommend using the Spa! We really enjoyed the live evening entertainment the Argentinian band and the Star Gazing were our favourites. Finally, the staff are truly wonderful and really made our stay special. Rita, Victor, Alex, Jamie and Brendan create a very welcoming atmosphere and can’t do enough to assist you. Thank you for a brilliant stay.
